Removing a Submission

    Hello -

    We closed our registration for a Christmas shopping event we are having on Saturday.

    In the process of receiving submissions, we had 3 submissions that were not from our area and need to decline.

    Right now I have them "starred" in my submissions. However, I would like to remove them, to get an accurate report.

    If I remove them to either Archive or Trash, it changes the submission number for the remaining submissions. Is there a way to remove them without changing the submission numbers?

    Please advise...thank you!

    Blessings,
    Karen

    Hello,


    I see that you already know how to remove a submission but you can always check this link for guidance: https://www.jotform.com/help/377-how-to-delete-form-submission-data/

    Additionally, it is not possible for the submission numbers to retain their original number after deleting or removing a submission.


    If there's anything else, please let us know so we can help you right away.

    Thanks!

    Hi there,

    Unfortunately, that is not possible, the submission numbers are the actual count of the remaining submissions you have on your inbox/submission page, removing a submission will deduct it from the count.

    Let us know if you need any further assistance.
